Hi, I am very very new to couchDB and am currently following a tutorial on 
design documents in which I have completed the following steps using my 
ubuntu 9.04 terminal with couchDB 0.8.0 incubating:

1. Create a .json file with the following code:

{
  "_id" : "_design/example",
  "views" : {
    "foo" : {
      "map" : "function(doc){ emit(doc._id, doc._rev)}"
    }
  }
}

2. Use curl to PUT the file to CouchDB (creating a database also)
curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/basic
curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/basic/_design/example -d @mydesign.json

....this resulted in a success message:
{"ok":true,"id":"_design/example","rev":...

3. add some empty documents to the database that I can then query:
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5984/basic -d '{}'

4. Now query the view*:
curl http://127.0.0.1:5984/basic/_design/example/_view/foo

*it is this that gives me the following error:
{"error":"EXIT","reason":"{function_clause,\n 
[{couch_httpd,handle_db_request,\n 
[{mochiweb_request,#Port<0.2949>,'GET',\n 
\"\/basic\/_design\/example\/_view\/foo\",\n              {1,1},\n  {3,\n  
            {\"user-agent\",\n                {'User-Agent',\n  
\"curl\/7.18.2 (i486-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl\/7.18.2 OpenSSL\/0.9.8g 
zlib\/1.2.3.3 libidn\/1.10\"},\n                {\"host\",\n  
{'Host',\"127.0.0.1:5984\"},\n {\"accept\",{'Accept',\"*\/*\"},nil,nil},\n 
                nil},\n                nil}}},\n          'GET',\n  
{\"basic\",<0.6827.0>,[\"_design\",\"example\",\"_view\",\"foo\"]}]},\n  
{couch_httpd,handle_request,2},\n     {mochiweb_http,headers,4},\n 
{proc_lib,init_p_do_apply

...Any idea why??? I need to get this working ASAP because my boss is 
getting angry!

Steve
